Guidance for Emergency Lighting System
In the UK, the requirement for installing and upkeeping an adequate emergency lighting system in premises is dictated by specific fire safety legislation. According to the British Standard BS 5266-1, emergency lighting must be installed if a risk assessment indicates a need for it, ensuring compliance with specified minimum illuminance levels and safety signage recommendations outlined in sections 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 of the standard.
Emergency Lighting System Maintenance
The responsibility for operating the emergency lighting system rests with the premises' designated responsible person.
